The 10 Safest Vehicles of 2008

The way we measure the safety of a vehicle is pretty straight forward. Which vehicle will keep the driver and passengers of a vehicle from injury? However, measuring this value is far more difficult. Crash test ratings play a major role in the process, which take rollover rates, side-impact safety, stability control, and many other factors and safety features into consideration.
